Greetings New to the forum so please bear with. I have a 2+ extended. It has been working ok up until now for what I've been doing. however, it's developed a problem which I don't know how to overcome. The build plate basically stopped heating up. : The 1st time it did it, it threw up an error code of ER02, and told me to investigate. I checked the wires were screwed in to the plate properly. Then I tried again. : No error but the plate still didn't warm up. When I go to advanced and select heat build plate. The screen says what the temp is, slash, what you want it to be be, right! The temp reads 78 degrees, and when I wind knob to 100 degrees, it warms up to a tepidness and I can rest my hand on it. So that's wrong for a start. : Swapped temp plugs over. now temp reads 19, on the left, but doesn't get any higher, and on the right, I can wind it up all the way and the plate gets hot. : The nozzle doesn't get hot however, and reads like when plate is plugged in to that part of the board, reading 70-80 something when it's normal room temp and not getting hot when I ask it to. So, is my main board knackered? I ask because it all points to that temp sensor socket for the plate. Not a big electronic whiz, but I can get by with basic stuff. if it's the board, do I have to install firmware upon fitting a new one? I genuinely don't know. Any help is massively appreciated.

Hi chaps (and chapess', is that even a word? it is now) Kind of new to the 3d print scene even though I've had my printer about a year. I have a 2+ Extended. Made a few things on it so far but struggling to improve quality of my prints so far. That said, I do like making stuff that serves a purpose rather than busts of catwoman or iron man heads etc I reside on the South Coast and have many hobbies, probably too many really. Anyway, here's hoping for a long stay, and I'm sure to speak to some of you at some point. P.S, Make mine with 1 sugar and about 15mm of milk. Thanks
